An Advance Method for Diagnoses of Skin Conditions
Four major conditions give us sixteen combination possibilities, to precisely determine the patient’s skin type:
1. Oily/Dry:
2. Sensitive /Resistant;
3. Pigmented / Nonpigmented:
4. Wrinkled/Tight

O-Oily; D-Dry; S-Sensitive: R-Resistant; P-Pigmented; N-Nonpigmented; W-Wrinkled; T-Tight
Sensitive skin types also include 4 common inflammatory conditions, such as Acne. Seborrhea, Rosacea and Allergic/Reactivity skin types (e.g. Atopic Dermatitis). ln order to define these cases, we use 4 sub-categories, marked as the letters of the specific condition -Ac, Sb, Ro, Al/Re.
OSPW
Oily Sensitive Pigmented Wrinkled
Oily, sensitive, pigmented and wrinkled skin is susceptible to facial redness (Rosacea /Seborrhea / Acne/ Allergic Types) or skin rash and has the tendency to develop dyschromia (hyperpigmentation), mainly on the face or chest like ephelides, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and solar lentigos depends on the Fitzpatrick skin. This type also has a tendency to develop wrinkles due to current or past lifestyle habits and genetic predisposition. DermShieldTM Technology is exceptionally valuable in this case for it allows the use of high concentrations of active ingredients without concomitant side effects.
Recommended: sunscreen, barrier repair moisturizing and anti-inflammatory ingredients, Pyruvic Acid/AHA/BHA/Azelaic Acid (depends on the type of facial redness), retinoids, lightening agents, lift and whitening peptides and antioxidants.
DSPW
Dry Sensitive Pigmented Wrinkled
Dry, sensitive, pigmented and wrinkled skin is susceptible to facial redness (Rosacea / Seborrhea / Acne /Allergic Types) or skin rash and has the tendency to develop dyschromia (hyperpigmentation), mainly on the face or chest like ephelides, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and solar lentigos depends on the Fitzpatrick skin. This type also has a tendency to develop wrinkles due to current or past lifestyle habits and genetic predisposition. This case is a very complicated condition to treat. DermShieldTM Technology is exceptionally valuable in this case for it allows the use of high concentrations of active ingredients without concomitant side effects.
